Contests & Promotions

As we grow older it becomes harder and harder to continue playing games as often as we would like. Since I started playing Magic in 1996 I've switched between formats like I was changing my underwear (which is often, I swear!). A few weeks ago I decided to play in a Standard tournament. Having gone through life constantly switching formats, I've also sold my collection numerous times. That meant I didn't want to spend a lot of money building a deck but I did want to have fun.

I'm not completely sure where I came up with wanting to play this deck but I knew it would aggravate people while I had fun.

Here is the deck I built using cards I had and only spending $8.50 on the remaining cards:

deck. Most of the decks I've seen played in the two tournaments I played this in were creature heavy.

The only real problems this deck should have is against burn or control. Burn decks will be tough to beat due to the lack of main deck counterspells. Even after siding in 8 counterspells it may not be enough. I lost a round in both tournaments to Mono Red. Against control I was able to win a round in both tournaments due to my opponent focusing too much on countering my Fog

Overall I piloted this deck to a horrendous 1-2 and 2-2-1. My opponents were shocked to see the deck but it was very fun to play.

If I was to upgrade this deck the following are options:1- add the Blue Green dual land (I never had a problem getting color screwed as main deck only has 1 card with more than a single colored mana in its cost- Blue Sun's Zenith
